Do You Know Your Search Engines

No matter what you use the World Wide Web for, search engines are the central to all practices related to it. Search engines are what link people who are searching the Internet to what it is that they want to find. Think of a search engine as the road that leads you to your destination on theInformation Highwayknown as the World Wide Web. In the Internet marketing industry, a search engine is crucial to the success of your business, as it dictates whether or not people will find your website – and you need people to find your website in order for you to be successful in this industry.

That being said, I ask you “Do you know your search engines?” What do I mean by this question? Well, in other words, are you aware of how search engines work? Are you aware of the impact that they can have on your business? Are you aware of how you can get a good ranking on the search engines?

Put simply, a search engine works like this: Someone opens up a search engine, types in a word, term or phrase, clicks the “search” button and they are provided with a list of websites. This list of websites is related to the word, term or phrase that they types into the search engine. So, for example, if someone typed in “Best beaches inJamaica,” the search engine would return a list of websites that discussed the best beaches inJamaica.

The websites that come up first in the list that is returned to a Web searcher are those that the search engine view as significant. In the given example, these sites would contain relevant information to “Best beaches inJamaica.” These sites would also be authoritative and trusted by the search engines.

Being one of the websites that comes up in the first batch of websites returned when someone does a search is crucial to your success. Ideally, you would want to have be in the top 10. The higher your website places, the more likely people will visit your site. The higher you place in these results, the better your ranking.

How do you get a good ranking? By making sure that your site contains valuable information, by updating your site with useful and well written content on a regular basis and by using keywords that relate to what people are searching for.

Knowing your search engines and knowing how they work can really impact the success of your business. Customize your site to work with the search engines and you will find great success in this industry.
